According to a preliminary investigation, multiple men entered the house, gunshots were heard, and it was discovered the victim had been shot.

The inside of the red brick house was ransacked, but the other occupants were unharmed. After the men fled, 911 was called.

This does not appear to be a random act, and the general public is not in danger, Knoll said.

Post Road is in the Memorial Drive area of Clarksville.

Neighbor Terry Matthews, who lives across from the home, said he did not hear shots, but did hear the commotion when police arrived.

"We woke up to the flashing lights," he said.

Matthews said he did not know the neighbors. "They keep to themselves," he said.

The dark green grass of the home was dotted with a few yellow dandelions and yellow evidence markers as the crime scene team collected evidence.

Monterey Place and Post Road were both reopened to traffic just before 9 a.m. but the home remained taped off.

Several people looked through windows, and there were several cars and trucks parked in a long driveway with a basketball hoop at the end.

The lead investigator is Detective Frederick McClintock. Anyone with information is asked to call 931-648-0656, ext 5465, TIPSLINE 931-645-8477, or go online and submit a tip anonymously at P3tips.com/591.
